YA GOTTA READ!
The Mets partnered with Queens Borough President Melinda Katz to launch the "Ya Gotta Read!"
program to help foster a love of reading in students. The pilot program was offered to 1,000 third,
fourth and fifth graders at P.S. 19 Marino Jeantet, the largest elementary school in New York.
Mr. Met helped launch the program at a kick-off rally at the school. The Mets challenged the students
to read one grade-level book a week and write a book report for each during the six-week program,
which coincided with the start of Mets Spring Training. Students were rewarded with Mets-themed
prizes after they read a certain number of books. Those who read six books or more received tickets to
a Mets game! The class that read the most books won a visit from Mr. Met and a Mets player!
The students at P.S. 19 stepped up to the plate and read a total of 4,061 books. They embraced reading
and hit the game-winning home run for the inaugural Mets Ya Gotta Read! program.
METSGIVING
TURKEY GIVEAWAY
The Mets hosted their fourth annual turkey giveaway
in advance of Thanksgiving, distributing 500 turkeys
with the help of Uber throughout the five boroughs to
help families in need. Mets infielder Wilmer Flores went
door to door in Corona delivering turkeys and all the
fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner, while Mets employees
volunteered to hand out turkeys at various locations
throughout the city.
The Mets worked with Mets Community Partner the River
Fund NY to give away turkeys to families in Richmond
Hill in Queens, Cayuga Centers in the South Bronx, Mets
Community Partner New York Common Pantry in East
Harlem in Manhattan, Project Hospitality in Staten Island
and Agape Food Rescue in East New York in Brooklyn.
The Mets also worked with the NYPD Community Affairs
office from the 110th precinct to select 25 families who
received complete Thanksgiving meals.
FOOD DRIVE
The Mets and Hain Celestial teamed up for the annual
Food Drive benefiting the River Fund NY, a hunger-relief
organization based in Richmond Hill, Queens. Fans who
donated at least 10 non-perishable items received a
voucher good for two tickets to
a Mets home game in 2018. The
November drive generated 5,000
pounds of food.
WALTER REED
The Mets made their
annual trip to the Walter
Reed National Military
Medical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland,
to say thank you to
the men and women
of the military and
their families. Mets
Chairman Fred Wilpon,
General Manager Sandy
Alderson and the entire
team along with Mr.
Met hosted a barbeque
lunch at the USO Center
at Walter Reed. The
day featured fun and
games along with a DJ
and face painting for the
children. The players
posed for photos and
signed autographs for
the soldiers and listened
to their experiences of
life in the military.

play a 1-0 game in 2017. The Mets posted their most wins in 1-0 games in 1969, when the club went
9-5. On September 29, 1993 the Mets and Cardinals battled for 16 scoreless innings before Jeff Kent’s
17th-inning double plated the game’s only run. A long evening, but not a club record. That honor
belongs to the 1-0 Mets loss on April 15, 1968 when the Mets and Astros went 23 scoreless innings
before Houston pushed across the winning run on an infield error.
